its not rude . I just have a lot of opinion about writers because I know a few of them in the industry who are talented but most of them undiscovered but they keep on writing anyway , lets just say they have influenced me a lot .

Well, actually I'm a bit confused with the overall plot so far as it seems to be jumping forward everywhere. But anyways, I enjoyed this latest episode with the nice soundtrack. And this series has a lot of interesting creatures like the one at the end there.

The show is really picking up with the plot. And I love where it's heading! I'm sure there's another big twist coming, can't wait to find out. The ED song is actually nice especially when you want to absorb what you just watched. It's been awhile since I haven't skipped an ED song.

I love the music in this show. I'll seriously have to look for the soundtrack.

More dire portents regarding Shun.

Is he really turning into a karmic demon? Or are the elders trying to eliminate him for another reason?

And what happened to Saki's eldest two siblings? Why do so many kids have to disappear? It can't be because of karmic demons.

Brain washing. Disappearances. Big Brother. This is a seriously damaged society. It's no wonder the adults live in fear. The kids just don't know any better just yet, but they are learning.

Two siblings? I thought it was just Yoshimi?

I thought that there was something particularly important when the library was destroyed, just as it was about to explain the condition behind the karmic demons. The fairly tale they were told in class was just designed to scare them.

The commitee seem intend on culling anyone who is a nuisance, or doesn't manifest any power. It's like a cult.

It's debatable whether Saki's parents know that the committee created the cats though.

I know I'm assuming a bit, but...

When she looked up her name in the book:
Sa -- Early / Dawn / Young
Ki -- Still Growing / Newborn / Young / Season / Small / Youngest of three or more

Saki thinks to herself, "Youngest?" and then dreams of Yoshimi. Also, her mother said "I don't want to lose anymore children" instead of "another child". So, I'm going with the assumption that she's the youngest of 3.

i dont mind the yaoi/yuri part... i dont know why people are so freaking out... this is a new world and ANIME, things are not supposed to be the same as in our world... its just like the robot and the superior technology, or aliens. why people wont freak out like O NO THATS AN ALIEN ITS SO GROSS I CANNOT WATCH IT ANYMORE... OR MORE ALIENS, i dare you motherfxxxer... o well, good anime and episode and i actually quite enjoy the yaoi/yuri part! surprised me!

This show is really swinging for the fences. Depending on how the rest of the series goes, this show has the potential to be a classic, although I haven't read the source material, and the episodes until now have been inconclusive, so I'll just wait and see before making any declarations. But at the very least, that was an incredible episode. The art, the music, the dialogue, the ideas -- this might be my favorite episode yet from all the shows this season. I loved everything about it. For some reason, all the close-ups on Saki's face seemed to have left the biggest impression. But the backgrounds, the atmosphere, all of it was really well done. I'm really looking forward to next week.

Great episode. Hope for more like that but given this show's inconsistency so far, who knows! I have the first disc coming soon and preordered the second, probably have to get the whole thing now, just too artistically cool not to.
